Embedded: The House
April 9, 2016 10:51 AM - Subscribe
Last spring, Austin, Ind., was at the center of an HIV outbreak linked to intravenous use of the opioid painkiller Opana. In one house in Austin, a man addicted to Opana says he didn't think he would get HIV through sharing needles. The town's only full-time doctor is trying to encourage people to get help, but many people have yet to be tested.
ive heard the first two episodes of this, they're both pretty good. They have the same vibe as bbc radio documentaries.

I really liked this! Had to skip forward through some of the more graphic descriptions of IV drug use but am looking forward to listening to the other available episodes. Has Kelly McEvers appeared on This American Life or Planet Money? She has such a familiar voice but I haven't listened to All Things Considered.

I realize there are millions of thoughtful, ethical, smart people in Indiana. It isn't their fault their state and local governments are uniformly awful. But, goddamn!
Also, I'm looking forward to more from this podcast. The first episodes are really engaging and thoughtfully produced.
